Street Rhythms & Local Pulse

Start with sound, color, or quiet, your choice from the plaza

Explore Medellín your way, drift through lively streets, pause in shaded courtyards, or follow a quieter path when the mood shifts. With your host by your side, each moment can open up or slow down depending on what draws you in.

Courtyard Calm or Creative Corners

Hidden spaces offer either shade or surprise

You might step into a quiet courtyard or choose to explore a nearby creative space. Whether it’s a moment to pause or a chance to tap into what is going on, your host follows your lead to match the mood.

Walk or Tram into San Ignacio

Choose your pace into a neighborhood rich with layers

You might keep walking, noticing how the feel of the city shifts block by block. Or you could head toward a different neighborhood. This isn’t about ticking off sights, it’s about following the pace and atmosphere that feels right.

A Pause, If It Feels Right

Step into a casual spot or keep going if you’re not quite ready to pause.

If the moment feels right, your host might suggest a quiet café or shaded bench, a place to pause, reflect, or simply watch the day go by. But if your energy’s still up, you’re free to keep moving. This stop is there if you need it, not because it’s planned.

Optional Close: A City Glimpse from Above

A nearby overlook, if the day still has space to breathe

If the timing and energy feel right, you could end the experience with a walk to a small, green viewpoint just beyond the bustle. Here, the city spreads below, giving you a final, quiet moment to take it all in from above.

Ray Aug 2025

Very nice tour of the city. Informative as well. A great way to start your trip. Highly recommended.

Sarah Aug 2025

My tour with Delia was a great balance of information, conversation, time for my questions—we covered a lot of ground but the time seemed relaxed. She is knowledgeable, friendly, and an ideal guide for someone who wants to know about London’s history as well as current life in the city.

Eric Aug 2025

Jose Luis was an outstanding guide. As it was my first time visiting Dublin, he gave me a great introduction to the city and its history.

FAQs

Your questions, answered

Is this a traditional tour?

No. Our experiences are unscripted and designed around you. Instead of following a rigid itinerary, your host will plan a personalized journey that feels natural, immersive, and unique.

What if I don’t know what I want to explore?

That’s completely fine! Select an experience theme or a flexible discovery experience, and after booking, answer a few questions so your host can design the perfect experience for you.

How does personalization work?

After booking, you’ll complete a short questionnaire about your interests and travel style. We’ll match you with the best host who will tailor the experience to you. You'll have the opportunity to chat with them before the experience and agree on a plan.

Will I know my itinerary in advance?

Yes, you will have the opportunity to chat with your host directly and agree on a plan for the day. However, there’s always room for spontaneity and local surprises!

Will I see famous landmarks or just hidden gems?

Both! Your host will take you to iconic sights if you want to see them, but they’ll also introduce you to places and stories most travelers miss.

Can I request specific places to visit?

Yes! After booking, you will receive a questionnaire where you can highlight must-visit spots and anything else you’d like to include, and your host will craft your experience around them.

Can I change the meeting place?

Yes, you will be in touch with your host before your experience, and you can agree on a different meeting point with them. Your host can meet you anywhere central that’s convenient.

Can my host meet me at my accommodation?

Hotel meet-ups are available upon request in central areas. If you're staying outside the city, your host will recommend the best meeting spot and guide you with directions.

How much walking is involved?

This depends on the experience, but your host can adjust the pace to suit your comfort level.
